So recently I bought a Tsukihime game on eBay for pretty cheap. I just got the game today and it was not what I expected, all the "game" was was the image of the Japanese game in an iso + an fanmade english translation(by mirror moon) that led me here.

The game was working but on the translation it said it should not be sold for profit or anything like that. Is that illegal or are you guys actually working together with this guy and give him permission to do it?

mirror moon is just a fan translation, they can not have anything to do with the distribution of the source material (aka the ISO) and I believe they said as much in the readme. So no, they can not be involved with whoever sold you that disk even if they wanted to.

Oh, but if you decide to look for the game on Yahoo auction, Japan side. Also if you don't live in Japan, This Rinkya is really good for an auction agent. They do cost a lot to use in my opinion, but they have excellent customer support. You can find a link to the game from here. http://forums.mirrormoon.org/viewtopic.php?t=2320 FAQS number 5. That should have the link to the Japanese side and will take you to some products.

Anywho good luck with it. I never really had anyone bid against me on that site before. Also I been able to find some rare finds from them too.

Side note there are two different plus discs. and mirrormoon only supports one verison of it. Ya I found this out the hard way.

"You sit proudly in this cave , like a Queen of Egypt.
In my service to you , I shall never know rest.
To prove my devotion , I have stolen this ostentatious offering.
But I'll show you things your dark blue eye haven't seen , smiles like a lake in the sun , blossoming like a lotus."

He got removed from the AU site, but not the US site. The first time, I got someone from the US to report him, but the next time I came across him (about two weeks later), I reported him. He's still there. *curses repeatedly*

In addition to what I1nk said, the version mm supports is Plus+Disc, which comes with Tsukibako. Tsukibako also contains Tsukihime and Kagetsu Tohya - which are compatible with the mm patch for Tsukihime, and the Beast's Lair patch for Kagetsu Tohya.
...for obvious reasons, getting a hold of Tsukibako is recommended.

EDIT: Hmm. Can't seem to find him anymore?

Doh, I completely forgot about this... I was gonna organize a report spamming session by putting this asshole up on mirrormoon.org... Sadly I'm too busy at the moment, so if someone can collect the links of all his auctions and paste them here, including direct links to reporting them, I can make a post on the site.

This post poof'd at request of the person who's information is contained within, let us keep in mind that posting other people's information on the internet without their consent is probably a bad idea.

Or just report him to his university. Any university that's worth half their pride would pay very serious attention to illegal ware traffic, more so if it's an engineering school. I know my school make this a part of the student conduct code.

Make a formal letter, and if you're in college yourself I would even better if you send the email using your University email system instead of a generic one like Yahoo/Google. Trust me, I did that in the past and it gives your voice a hell lot more weight.

Giving away personal information for spamming is also wrong. Remember that two wrongs do not make a right. So it's not right to post the person's personal information on this site. That could attract the wrong people. The site also has a little disclaimer on it too. See above for a quote.

You can also report the item from this link too http://pages.ebay.com/help/policies/replica-counterfeit.html, but you will need the item number for this type of report. I believe the person who bought the item will have the best story since they will be able to give a first hand account of the item being a "bootleg" item. It will make the complaint more believable if it was done like this.

Yes Tsukibako is highly recommend if you want to play the game. You will save some money in the long run. It is also easier to find the right Plus+Disc this way too. Ahh I remember when I saw both games face to face, but I bought the cheaper version of the game since I didn't know there were a major difference. (I was in a used game store. Yes you can find almost any game in Akihabara. That is the best place for games and anime stuff.)
